[Football] Potter [NOT] at Chelsea

[Sheebo]

Why not just put the guy on ignore? It's bliss. It's NSC equivalent of noise-cancelling headphones

I did and then all I saw as people quoting a blocked content and it made the threads even more unreadable. I’m a nice guy so have him a 7th chance, but it’s again getting annoying. Of course this is NSC so someone will be about to quote me and make it my fault somehow or belittle my level of ‘annoyance’ which they aren’t privy to and will guess / assume

Incidentally, I found a very… interesting Reddit account completely by chance when browsing the Premier League subreddit. This person was going on about Potter on there this person claims to be a 35 year old Englishman living in Sweden, unemployed but working mostly as a translator. They’ve never seen Brighton live, but stream every game and were planning to return to England last year but that fell through, over concerns about losing Swedish residence if they left the country. Strangely, this person is quite adamant in views on certain subjects in a near identical way to our Swedish poster here. I think they’d be great friends and wish there was a way to introduce them somehow.

I think a finisher is a big part of it, but I was actually referring to out inability to break down teams that sit back, pop 11 men behind the ball and sh!thouse us for 90 minutes in the hope of springing a quick counter to get something out of the game.

Fulham and Palace were obvious examples, but we had the same v Villa, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Tottenham under De Zerbi.

So was I. A packed, organised defence. Up pops Mitro or Toney to bury a half chance.

If they sack him (and his entourage) now the compensation they paid us has cost them about £800,000 a game.

Cucurella made Albion £1.1m every time he started (£39m guaranteed profit/35 games).

He hasn't posted since last night so has possibly been 'advised' from above or had his wings clipped again.
Like you say, ignoring makes the threads just as unreadable do to how frequent he posts.

I see Swansman's takeover of NSC is going better than Putin's takeover of Ukraine.

Sorry, I just had a look and couldn’t find the user, I didn’t note down the username but it was something like BloggingMyLife or similar. Did a few searches but Reddit is a vast, barren wasteland even at the best of times…

 

[Bold Seagull]

calling Richard Keys and Andy Gray main stream is a bit of a stretch.

 

[albionalex]

"Poisoned chalice" is such a perfect term for this situation.

I don't think it is.

Would any other top club allow this terrible run of form and not sack their manager?

Would a world class manager still produce his terrible run of form?

From Football 365

Manchester City have won more Chelsea games (three) than Chelsea (two) since November 6. Manchester City have also scored more goals in Chelsea games (five) than Chelsea (four) in 2023

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Ermmm if l could understand what you are saying, then perhaps l would reply to it.

 

[RandyWanger]

Read it as Man City have beat and out scored Chelsea more times than Chelsea have won all other games in that period.

 

[Hamilton]

In what way does he expect more?

GP after pretty much every single defeat - "we have to learn and improve".
RDZ after pretty much (not Charlton) every single defeat - "we played fantastic, I want to congratulate my players. I don't like the ref"

One of them usually after a defeat usually says that they themselves are at fault and need to improve and get better, the other says that the team was fantastic but f***ed over by the ref.

Imho the former way of seeing it is the more ambitious one. "Its our fault, we need to get learn and improve" vs "We're fantastic, can't get any better, and everything is that damn refs fault".

But again, this is a bit like me walking into The Manson Familys supporter forum and claiming that Jim Jones is an equally fine cult leader.

That's a pretty inaccurate assessment of what RDZ says. Pretty accurate on what Potter says.

What either of them says behind closed doors, neither of us will know.

Liverpool has allowed their manager to remain despite very similar results

Liverpool has allowed their manager to remain despite very similar results

Though title and champions league success, suggests Klopp probably has a little more credibility

Klopp has a lot more in the bank and the backing of the fans

RDZ has connected with the fan base because he is a bit more like a fan. He says things we're probably thinking and feeling.

GP likes to control what he can control and everything else is irrelevant as it is outside his control. This detachment probably does work really well in some cases, certainly in sports psychology and things like that, but when it's going against you, and you need those on the outside to believe in what you're doing, it makes him a tough person to take to.

That is a separate question though.
Bloke asked if any other manager is allowed such a poor form and if a good - a world class one specifically - manager could oversee a team failing to win games.
The answer to the first question is Jurgen Klopp, and some would argue that it is the answer to the second one as well.
